About

I’ve  lived in Gloucester for 20 years and split my time now between teaching music (piano and strings) and delivering hypnotherapy to people of all ages. I work from my home near Gloucester centre and am flexible with times and days to accommodate clients’ work/domestic arrangements.
 
A really good friend of mine became a hypnotherapist and told me I should too! When you value someone’s opinion you don’t dismiss a comment like that lightly, and so I did something called a SWOT analysis – a quadrant with strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities in each corner. I filled it in with the pros and cons of this idea…… I don’t know why really (I do now!) – but it was a really useful exercise that convinced me to give it a go. I often strongly recommend it to clients.
 
I have never looked back. I realised I wanted a new challenge as I love learning, but doubted I could still study! I’ve always been fascinated by psychology but didn’t have £50K (or 5 years) to spare on a degree! I needed to work and study and part-time helped this…… and so on, until the picture emerged and looked possible.
I loved the course instantly. I had to learn the basics and then practise on unsuspecting family, friends and interested volunteers, write up case studies and learn to talk more …. slowly….. I qualified in 2017, survived a pandemic and now find life endlessly interesting, full of new facts and meet the most amazing children and adults. All of whom want to learn something that will their enhance life, and which I know I can help with.
 
As a child with psoriasis from aged 4, I had hypnosis at 14 and was astounded when it disappeared for a short time (I now know I needed more sessions); I also tried giving up chocolate as an adult (for 8 months completely) and thereafter managed the urges. This personal experience meant I had some solid belief which has been confirmed in my ongoing practice.

About me

I trained at the renowned Clifton Hypnotherapy Practice in Bristol and hold the Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH)and the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD). Before training as a hypnotherapist, I trained and continue to work as a teacher (of music, trained at the Royal Academy of Music, London); as a music therapist (trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London) and latterly as a prison officer, with people from all walks of life, often at a very low point in life and health.

This broad range of experience has informed my approach to working with adults and children experiencing many problematic conditions and problems, not just of health but of performance and achieving.

My hypnotherapy training has added a new and enormously valuable dimension to my own life and skills, all of which I use to full effect in my practice.

I really want you to think about this question as it is so important.
 
What do you want instead of anxiety? Or lack of confidence? Or fear of something?
 
When I ask people this question they usually struggle & give me the same answers of
I don’t want to have……..
or
I don’t want to feel……….
 
Did you answer the same way?
Don’t worry if you did – most people do!
 
When we struggle with difficult emotions and thoughts we normally focus on the things we don’t want. This is the way our brain is designed. Our default setting. To remember things that are not pleasant & unwilling spend many years with them.
 
When we work together to resolve your issue we will spend most of your time focusing on what you do want. I help you on this journey & make the process easy.
 
For many they choose to be happy, relaxed, calm, in control, confident & focused.
 
You see, it’s really important to take our focus off the problems,
to move towards feeling better & knowing what you do want.
 
Then we take the time to learn powerful skills to allow you to do that.
 
So take a moment, grab a notepad & make a note of how you would rather feel?
 
Then think about how different your life will be when you can feel that way?
What will you do?
Who will you do it with?
When will you do it?
 
When you have done this, then book a phone call with me and begin your journey towards better thoughts, feelings and actions.
